Visited For AppendectomyGastroentrology
I had the privilege of consulting Dr. Saumitra Rawat in November 2023, following my father's appendicitis attack. Residing in Nainital, Uttarakhand, where medical resources are limited, the urgency of the situation was compounded by the geographical challenges of accessing emergency medical care. In my search for competent medical assistance, Dr. Rawat's prompt and compassionate response stood out amidst numerous online inquiries. Upon our visit to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, Dr. Rawat's expertise and professionalism were evident during his thorough examination of my father's case. Collaborating with a senior radiologist, he proposed a conservative treatment approach, opting for a course of antibiotics to alleviate the infection before considering surgical intervention. This decision, along with Dr. Rawat's reassurance and clarity in communication, provided much-needed relief amidst the uncertainty surrounding my father's condition. Throughout the treatment process, Dr. Rawat's consideration of my father's comfort and well-being was exemplary. Recognizing my father's apprehension towards certain procedures, he tactfully suggested alternatives such as a high-quality CT scan in lieu of a colonoscopy, thus mitigating psychological distress while ensuring comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. Moreover, Dr. Rawat's accessibility and responsiveness, extending beyond scheduled appointments to accommodate queries and concerns via calls and texts, further underscored his commitment to patient care and support. Ultimately, my father's successful laparoscopic surgery and swift recovery stand testament to Dr. Rawat's expertise and compassionate approach to healthcare. My family and I are profoundly grateful for Dr. Rawat's invaluable assistance during our time of need, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to others seeking medical care of the highest standard.
